Bitcoin Ljubljana meetup - February 2024

Ker se svet kriptovalut in digitalnih sredstev še naprej razvija in pridobiva zagon, so regulativni okviri, kot je uredba o trgih s kripto sredstvi (MiCA) v EU, postali ključni pri oblikovanju ekosistema.
Vas zanima kam se stvari premikajo?
Kaksna regulacija se nam obeta?

Anja Blaj nam bo v sredo 28.2.2024 ob 19h v kavarni Sputnik zelo na hitro predstavila kaj prinaša nova regulacija MICA in kje vse nas v prihodnosti čakajo izzivi.

Za deležnike industrije, vlagatelje in potrošnike je ključno razumeti posledice, izzive in koristi, ki jih prinašajo takšni predpisi.
Kaj je MiCA, kdaj bo začela veljati, komu je namenjena in kako? Na tem srečanju Bitcoin skupnosti bo Anja Blaj predstavila pregled regulativnega procesa v EU, vpogled v regulativo MiCA, njen splošni časovni okvir, in ostalo…. Razpravljali bomo o tem, kako se lahko ponudniki storitev s kripto sredstvi najbolje pripravijo na MiCA, najnovejših posvetnih gradivih ESMA in EBA ter osnutkih smernic o obratnem zbiranju in pogojih ter merilih za kvalifikacijo kripto sredstev kot finančnih instrumentov.

Srečanje bo vodila Anja, strokovnjakinja za politiko pri Evropski kripto iniciativi, ki je bila del ekipe, ki se je pogajala v zvezi z MiCA regulacijo in odgovarjala na najnovejše serije posvetovanj.

To srečanje bo potekalo v sproščenem vzdušju in se ne bo spuščalo v preveč tehnične ali pravne vidike.

Mnenja, izražena na srečanju, so njena lastna in ne predstavljajo mnenj nobene povezane organizacije. Prav tako to ne bo pravno svetovanje, le kratek opis dogajanja v EU.

Predstavitev bo vključevala angleške diapozitive potekala pa bo v slovenščini.

Predavanje je namenjeno vsem, ne glede na predznanje. Ni vstopnine, vendar se prosimo prijavite, saj je število mest omejeno!

ENG:
As the world of cryptocurrencies and digital assets continues to evolve and gain traction, regulatory frameworks like the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation in the EU have become pivotal in shaping the future landscape.

Therefore, Anja Blaj will very briefly present to us what the new MiCA regulation brings and where all the challenges lie ahead in the future. Meetup will be held on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 7 p.m. at the Sputnik café.

It is crucial for industry stakeholders, investors, and consumers alike to understand the implications, challenges, and benefits brought on by such regulations.

What is MiCA, when will it become applicable, who does it apply to and how? This Bitcoin meet-up session will be providing an overview of regulatory process within the EU, insight into MiCA regulation, its overall timeline, token classification, DeFi and NFT “exceptions” and current state of the art. We’ll discuss how crypto-asset service providers can best prepare for MiCA, the most recent Consultation papers from ESMA and EBA and draft guidelines on both, reverse solicitation and conditions and criteria for the qualification of crypto-assets as financial instruments.

The meetup will be led by Anja, a policy expert at the European Crypto Initiative, who’s been part of the team negotiating some of the MiCA outcomes and responding to the most recent consultation batches. We will discuss upcoming events, especially how crypto-asset service providers can best prepare for MiCA, responses to the most recent Consultation papers from ESMA and EBA and draft guidelines on both, reverse solicitation and conditions and criteria for the qualification of crypto-assets as financial instruments.

Despite the presence of a lawyer, this meetup will aim for a relaxed atmosphere and won't delve into too many technical or legal aspects.
The views expressed by Anja at the meetup are her own and do not represent those of any associated organization. Her comments should not be considered legal or financial advice; attendees should consult legal professionals for specific advice.
The presentation will feature English slides, with the spoken portion delivered in Slovene.

Please RSVP to the event as the number of spots is limited!
